The turning point
Hey, @ZimZalaBim, I appreciate the bold move there, but I disagree with it. I really don't want to get into an editing ping-pong here, but can we agree that this particular release (Ghosts I–IV) has been a turning point for Reznor? And that this idea should be aknowledged with an additional paragraph? Btw. I don't like calling the "pivot" into ambient "foreshadowing," either. However, one can really tell the change in the "band's" career without an additional source you could reference to (a music critic? the artist himself?). Those are industrial albums, and these are ambient albums, period. Also, granted, we don't have to list every single soundtrack here anymore, as they're closing to twenty now. Let's just leave the fact intact. — Kochas 19:05, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Everything you describe here might be true, but it is original research. Saying there's a shift from industrial to ambient might be safe to say in a purley descriptive sense, but to suggest there's a connection betwen this release and the later soundtracks requires an independent reliable source making that argument, IMHO. -- Zim Zala Bim talk 22:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, the opening line that "The release of Ghosts I–IV foreshadowed a stream of soundtrack albums, recorded and labeled by Reznor and Ross, apart from Nine Inch Nails catalogue" itself notes that this remark is about future compositions by Reznor and Ross specifically outside of the NIN catalog. What point is there in bringing up this conjecture about their work separate from NIN in an article about an NIN album? Further, there have been instrumental and ambient songs on NIN prior to this full album. This is all original research, and borderline WP:FANCRUFT. -- Zim Zala Bim talk 02:15, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Come on, adding "borderline" to the argument is already an overkill ;-) But I agree, the whole lot about soundtrack albums fits more appropriately to the article on Reznor himself. However, Ghosts is not an unimportant detail in the man's resume, and sooner or later some critic will describe, say on Rolling Stone, a literal connection between this and the soundtracks -- which would constitute a reference here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — Kochas 21:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
